Fiber provides routing, middleware, and templating for building web apps and RESTful APIs.

It is lightweight and optimized for speed using Go’s net/http under the hood.

Supports middleware stacking and dependency injection patterns.

Ideal for microservices, high-performance APIs, and real-time applications.

Cross-platform and compatible with Go’s ecosystem and tooling.

Routing with parameters, wildcards, and groups

Middleware stack for logging, auth, and CORS

Static file serving

Template rendering (Go templates, Handlebars, etc.)

WebSocket support and real-time communication
